Motorsport Games announced that on December 31, 2024, all NASCAR game titles and their corresponding DLC content will be delisted from digital storefronts. This means they will no longer be available for purchase. However, players who already own the games will still be able to access and play them after this date.
The decision impacts popular franchises such as NASCAR Heat, NASCAR Rivals, and NASCAR Ignition. The move comes as a result of the NASCAR game licenses being transferred to iRacing earlier this year. This signals a major change in how NASCAR video games will be developed and distributed going forward.
